RAISING ROOFS SINCE 1976 WITH A 100% SUCCESS RECORD
LIFTEX
Roof Lifting
Vertically Expand Buildings for Maximum Cubic Footage.
For nearly 50 years, LIFTEX Roof Lifting has been helping businesses grow and scale their operations without the costly, time-killing process of relocating, rebuilding, or new construction.
Businesses that need more space as they grow can simply expand upwards, instead of spending considerable time and money purchasing and developing new land, transporting machinery and products to another existing space, or subjecting your employees and communities to the anxiety of job loss or relocation.
Raising the roof on your current building is cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and ethical.
It also provides a surefire way to get the results you want faster, without disruptions to your fine-tuned operations.
The LIFTEX Benefits.
Tremendous Savings
Raising an existing roof can be more cost-effective than new construction or demolishing and rebuilding, or even moving an entire operation to a different existing building.
Expand Fast
Roof lifting may take as little as ⅓ of the time needed for new construction, meeting your business’s needs compared to completely upending business operations.
